CONSULTA ARALDICA

(Redirected from Consulta araldica)
The 'Consulta Araldica' () was a college instituted by royal decree on 10 October 1869 to advise the Italian government on noble titles, coats of arms and related matters. As such it amalgamated the roles of the various heraldic colleges which had existed in pre-unification Italy, including the ''tribunale araldico'' of Lombardy, the ''commissione araldica'' of Venice and the ''congregazione araldica capitolina'' of Rome.
The body was dissolved following the adoption of the Constitution of the Italian Republic in 1947 and the abolition of state recognition and regulation of noble titles. Its functions today are performed by the Heraldic Office within the Office of the Prime Minister. There is also an unofficial private organisation called the ''Corpo della Nobiltà Italiana'', with fourteen regional associations.
